end of public mail delivery

Indeed, why keep up postal services when electronic communication is faster, cheaper, arguably more environmentally friendly, and easier to surveil? 

Here in Norway there are very few real post offices any more, they have merged with food shops. Parcel delivery is always confusing, you never guess where they will end up. Trying to contact customer support at the Post is well neigh impossible, you get to chat with an inane AI which only creates frustration without solving any problems. At least we still have those red post boxes scattered around in the streets. But it wouldn't surprise me if more countries decide to follow Denmarks example.

As a relocated Canadian, I have noticed (not a difficult feat) that the postal system in Canada has been in crisis for some time. How much is the result of digital communication, mismanagement and/or other reasons, I don't know. In Finland, the postal system has also been struggling. In Helsinki, mail is only delivered every 2nd weekday on a rotating schedule: Mon, Wed, Fri one week and Tues, Thurs during the next one. Throw national holidays into the mix and it's easy to get confused. The number of post offices have been trimmed. That process will likely continue. The halls and empty retail spaces in shopping centres, though, are becoming more uninviting, since they seem to filling up with more and more banks of lockers where packages may be picked up. A sure sign that the Finnish postal service was struggling hit me a few years ago. This was when I learned they were offering a lawn cutting service. 

i was sending every (!) listed denmark mail artist a message here and got - after 2 month - 1 reply. looks like that there is not so much interest or even emails are not delivered any more :)

the idea was to create a powerful art project addressing this... it will not stop in denmark i guess.

any ideas?
